ABOUT MY BLOG

I started my blog solely to express my passion and keen interest in finance and money. As a teenager, I would like to encourage others my age to take initiative in their financial futures. With an ongoing mission to encourage and educate teenagers on personal finance and the importance of money, Fundamentals of Finance is committed to providing you with information on ways to build your bank account and personal portfolio to eventually become financially independent.

 

When I was 9 years old, my father asked me to read a book on budgeting and saving. Nine-year-old me got bored of the book within the first two sentences. Over the years, I always found myself going back to that book and attempting to read it again but every time, I put the book down and started doing something else. More than finding the book boring, I just didn't understand a lot of it. Since there weren't many teen-friendly resources out there, I had to figure it out through a lot of research. 

​

I started this blog to sharewhat i learned and fill the knowledge gap for teens when it comes to financial literacy. My goal is to help demystify money matters and give young people a solid foundation from an early age. 

​

You'll find posts on Fundamentals of Finance covering all the basics, written in a style for teenagers to understand. I take complex topics and break them down into bite-sized pieces. Expect practical tips, real-life examples, and money skills you can apply right away.

​

While I may be young, I'm obsessed with personal finance! I truly believe that developing healthy money habits as a teen sets you up for lifelong financial confidence, security, and independence.

So explore the blog, level up your money knowledge, and get ready to build your own strong fundamentals of finance. Sign up for daily updates today. I'm here to guide the way!

ABOUT ME

Soumya Jinaga

Hi! My name is Soumya Jinaga and I am 16 years old. I currently live in Mumbai and am in my junior year of high school. I aspire to be a corporate lawyer when I grow up and work specifically in mergers and acquisitions. Born in Visakhapatnam, I moved to the US at the age of one and moved back to Pune, India when I was 8. I moved to Mumbai during my freshman year of high school. My interest in money began at a young age watching my parents’ financial endeavors whether it was budgeting or investing. Apart from finance, I find joy in literature, nurturing a passion for reading and writing.
